Xuzhou army camp.
The cunning Cao Song set up camp in the wilderness, and the pottery merchant could only set up camp in the surroundings.
His mission was to put Cao Song under house arrest before Cao Cao and Tao Qian decided the final victor.
If Cao Cao was defeated, Tao Qian would hypocritically release Cao Song.
If Cao Cao won, then Cao Song would become a bargaining chip to make Cao Cao retreat!
Although Zhang Kai was very dissatisfied, he could only follow the pottery merchant and set up camp in the wilderness.
"Report! Young Master, there is a scholar who claims to be Guo Jia from Yingchuan!”
Tao Shang was a little confused after hearing the report from the soldiers.
Yingchuan Guo Jia?
Who was this?
However, as the son of the Prefecture Overseer, even if Tao Shang didn't know Guo Jia, he couldn't lose his manners.
If this "Guo Jia" was a famous official from Yingchuan, he couldn't afford to neglect a famous official!
"Invite him into the tent!"
The pottery merchant thought for a while and decided to meet this scholar who called himself "Guo Jia".
Not long after.
The elegant Zhao Mu and Cao Ang, who was disguised as an errand boy, arrived at the Tao Shang's commander's tent.
"Yingchuan Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao. I heard that Young Master Shang is here, so I came to pay my respects!”
Although Zhao Mu was pretending to be Guo Jia, his tone and bearing would make the real Guo Jia sigh.
"How did you know I was here?" Tao Shang frowned slightly.”
"Replying to Young Master Shang, I originally wanted to pay a visit to the former Grand Commandant Cao Song, but I heard from a soldier that Young Master Shang was stationed here, so I boldly came to see him. I've long heard that Young Master Shang is a genius of Xu Prefecture. If I can't pay a visit here, wouldn't it be a pity?”Zhao Mu spoke with confidence, his words and actions were extremely sincere.
The phrase "I've long heard that Young Master Shang is a talent of Xu Prefecture" made Tao Shang's heart bloom with joy.
"Haha!"
Tao Shang laughed.
"I didn't expect my name to spread to Yingchuan?”
Immediately.
The pottery merchant ordered people to serve wine and meat to entertain Zhao Mu.
Cao Ang stood beside Zhao Mu. He was surprised to see that Zhao Mu had only exchanged a few words with Tao Shang, and he was like an old friend.
"Sir, you're making friends too quickly!”
"Just a few words of flattery and Tao Shang is already so happy?”
What Cao Ang didn't know was…
Although Tao Shang was the son of the Prefecture Overseer, he had always been looked down upon by the scholars of Xu Prefecture!
Tao Qian was originally a martial artist. He used his military achievements to obtain the position of Prefecture Overseer. He also used Danyang's elite soldiers to stop the rebellion in Xuzhou. Only then did he stabilize his position as Prefecture Overseer.
However, in the eyes of the Xu Prefecture scholars, Tao Qian was no different from Dong Zhuo and Gongsun Zan!
In addition, Tao Qian put Cao Hong, Cao Bao, Zuo Rong, and other villains in an important position, so the well-known scholars of Xuzhou could not escape disaster.
For example, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Lu Su, Wang Lang and others did not want to stay in Xuzhou.
The remaining ones who were unwilling to escape were the native clans of Xuzhou, such as Chen Gui and Chen Deng.
Tao Qian was looked down upon, let alone Tao Qian's son, Tao Shang!
The wine was half drunk.
When Zhao Mu proposed to pay a visit to the former Grand Commandant Cao Song, Tao Shang did not stop him and even let his personal guards lead the way.
The Tao Shang's actions made Zhang Kai unhappy.
"Young Master, this Guo Jia's words and actions are rather suspicious. You shouldn't have let him meet Cao Song.”As a Yellow Turban General, Zhang Kai had lived for so many years and had always been careful. He was afraid that if he was careless, he would be killed and used as military merit.
Zhang Kai always felt that something was wrong with Zhao Mu, who called himself "Guo Jia", but he couldn't say why.
Tao Shang's expression changed when he heard that.""Zhang Kai, what do you know? Guo Jia was a scholar from Yingchuan. To be able to travel here, he was definitely not an ordinary scholar!”
"To be able to travel around at this time, they must have status and have a wide range of friends.”
"If I stop them, wouldn't it seem like my Tao Family of Xu Prefecture despises the wise?”
"You are a Yellow Turban general and don't understand the etiquette between scholars. I don't blame you. Don't say anything more!”
Tao Shang's arrogant attitude made Zhang Kai furious.
What do you mean I'm a Yellow Turban general and don't understand the etiquette between scholars?
I, Zhang Kai, have served Tao Qian for so long, but my identity as a Yellow Turban general is actually mentioned again and again?
"Damn it!"
Zhang Kai retreated resentfully, his eyes filled with hatred!
On the other side.
Seeing Zhao Mu and Cao Ang who suddenly appeared, Cao Song was so shocked that his entire person almost sat up!
After Tao Shang's personal guards left, Cao Song hurriedly ordered people to guard the tent door and asked anxiously,""Grandson Ang, why are you here?”
Cao Song couldn't be blamed for being frightened. He was now under house arrest by Tao Shang.
If Cao Ang was imprisoned by Tao Shang again, Cao Song could almost guess how Tao Qian would deal with Cao Cao!
Cao Ang hurriedly bowed." Grandfather, don't worry. I'm here to save you!"”
Save?
Cao Song was somewhat puzzled.
Cao Ang looked at Zhao Mu and introduced him." Sir, this is my grandfather, the former Grand Commandant Cao Song. His grandfather was Zhao Mu from Taishan County, also known as Jing Lue. He was also a highly valued aide of his father.”
"Today, your grandson was able to come here because of your advice!”
Cao Song was instantly startled as he looked at the young man with an extraordinary bearing.
